Parents are invited to worship with their kids and attend one activity together, then hang out in the parent fellowship area for some great conversation! Our Friday evening concludes with dinner together. After our Saturday program, there will be a Family Fun Fair from 1–4pm to continue the fellowship and memory making with music, a bouncy house, and a petting zoo.

The Merrimack Valley Food Bank’s Mobile Pantry Program is so grateful to you for your commitment to reducing hunger in the Merrimack Valley. We acknowledge receipt of a donation of $220 along with 930 pounds of non-perishable food. Currently Mobile Pantry volunteers deliver groceries once a month to 291 households in the Greater Lowell area. Clients are homebound elderly and/or physically disabled. While we wish the need was not so great, we are fortunate to be able to help these individuals thanks to the generosity of our community. We appreciate this partnership and look forward to working with you in the future.
